A happily married man with a beautiful little girl. I'm mature, somewhat serious perhaps, but pragmatic and responsible. Whilst private, good in company and with a broad range of people. An engineer by trade, I now lead more than engineer and enjoy broadening my knowledge and experience. I always welcome the opportunity to laugh out loud and work hard to keep smiling; I try to carry my own sunshine. A highlight of my weekend is a coffee in Starbucks with my daughter; she simply loves their cookies.

My favourite places are: Wiltshire, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Banff in Canada, Rodi Garganico, Rome, and Washington. Broadly, I love the West Country and Italy.

My favourite combinations are: Swindon and Win(!), Family and Friends, Company and Laughter, Fresh air and vitality, Wine and Food, Mountains and Snow, Cars and open roads, Omegas and Tags, Alfas and Vespas, Espressos and Lattes, Fountain pens and Moleskines.
